This dish is made with ingredients most people keep on hand in the refrigerator and pantry. Evaporated milk gives the sauce a creamy consistency without all the added fat of whipping cream.
This hearty casserole has a well-seasoned, savoury filling smothered with a layer of Creamy Mashed Potatoes.
Using just one pot and one skillet pan, you can have a deconstructed shepherd's pie piping hot on your plate in less than 30 minutes. Economical ground beef makes this a winning family recipe for rushed weeknights, and leftovers make a great lunch to reheat the next day.
If you have time, chill the meatballs in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before frying: they'll hold their shape a little better.
Serve this stew with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty Italian bread. The beef stock gives a rich meaty flavour to the oyster mushrooms and the sauce.
Mild curry paste makes this quick Indian dish kid-friendly, but feel free to use medium or hot paste for a kick.
